Black R33 GTST on Federal highway this morning followed by a cement truck turning the corner from Barton Highway which then tipped over. Crazy shit!

hopefully the cement truck driver is ok..........that being said that would have be hilarious to see

I don't think watching other people have accidents is hilarious. Had he been on the inside lane and there been a car on the other side things could have been much uglier. The lights went green and about 5 cars had already stopped. It looked like he'd already kicked the windscreen out and people were helping him out at the time so from what I could see he looked ok.

Stupid mistake but I imagine he's going to get in plenty of poo from his employer and a nice neg driving or equivalent for his troubles.

I'm sad that I never get spotted on my 3 minute drive to work each day! :(

Know the feeling. I drive around on the weekends and to and from civic each Tues and Thurs Evening, never get spotted either.. Been taking the old car the 10mins to work, so it is parked and exposed to attention.

I forgot from Friday.... spotted cruising the main drag of the Hyper D (yes srsly), 2 Ferrari's, one white convertible and one deep red/cherry one. f**k they looked good. I'm not sure what model.

Also spotted a guy in a Corolla today wearing driving gloves :huh: Like, he had a tshirt, cap, sunnies.... and black leather gloves WTF

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
